Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onions
  • 1 cup chopped green bell peppers
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 pound chorizo or other smoked sausage, finely chopped, plus 1 pound chorizo, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
  • Creole seasoning
  • 2 1/2 quarts shrimp stock, (chicken stock or water can be used)
  • 1 dozen frozen gumbo crabs, thawed
  • 2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 pounds Louisiana Crawfish tails
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or scallions (green part only)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 6 cups cooked long grain white rice, warm
  • Louisiana File Powder

Directions

In a large, heavy pot or a Dutch oven over medium heat, combine the oil and flour. Stirring slowly and constantly, make a dark brown roux, the color of chocolate, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, chopped celery, and 1/2 pound chopped sausage. Season with Creole seasoning. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are very soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the stock and gumbo crabs, stir until the roux mixture and broth are well combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 2 hours. Meanwhile, season the remaining seafood with Creole seasoning. Add the seafood and remaining sliced sausage to the gumbo. Cook for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes before skimming off the fat that has risen to the surface. Taste for seasonings and adjust. Stir in the green onions and parsley and serve the gumbo in individual soup or gumbo bowls with the rice. Pass the file powder at the table.

    I advise anyone making this, to cook their sausage and render the fat off BEFORE you add it, unless you want to spend 10 minutes skimming fat off of your finished dish. I decided to try a different recipe,rather than the making it the way that I normally do, and while it is tasty, just not quite what I am accustomed to.

    My first time making gumbo and it is amazing!!!! I used the bones and head from a snapper to make the stock. I did everything else exactly to recipe except I used king crab leg meat instead of the gumbo crabs (couldn't find them. This recipe is soooo yummy. Expensive yes, but totally worth it!
